Icelandic atmospheric/shoegaze rock/metal outfit Sólstafir is turning to a new chapter by signing with Century Media Records, which is nothing short of thrilled to welcome its creative force that doesn't shy away from blending metal, shoegaze, post-rock and atmospheric black metal with unique emotional power.
Aðalbjörn Tryggvason (guitar, vocals) comments: "We have been fans for a long time. I have bought half of my death metal collection from them in the '90s. We started our career on a German label and now we are back with one – and we are looking forward to many years to come!"
Sólstafir is currently wrapping up working on a new album that will be out later this year. The band will embark on the Nordic Descent Tour 2024 in November - with a very special line-up.
Sólstafir comments on the tour: "We are coming back with long shows, new songs, and old pearls. Ever since we played with Oranssi Pazuzu in Transylvania back in 2012 we have been fans of them, so we are very happy to be taking them on the road with us. Joining us as well, are our friends in Hamferð who we played with in their home country back in 2013. Hamferð will, and the other half will be our newest friends in Helga". Link
